STRAIGHT AND LEVEL

By the time our fearless postal employees get through with this issue Oshkosh 79 will have become history and by now we are back home polishing and cleaning our aircraft for the next fly-in Others are going through the many bits of information gathered from forums or parts sources and continuing with their restoration plans The Ill just have to have -- syndrome has bitten some and they now ponder how and where to obtain the aircraft they wish to restore The question marks appear descr ibing the proper way to restore it and we wonder at tim es if adequate informaion is available

This is where our AntiqueCla ss i c Division can help you Elsewhere in this issue we have printed our AntiqueClassic Division Vintage Aircraft Competition Judging Manual of Maintenance Restoration and Conshystruction Standards This is the basic set of standards that your Oshkosh judges have been using for the past several years and through it we have established an accurate and acceptable method of judging anshytique and classic aircraft at any fly-in Included is a sample judging sheet with detailed instructions of the method to obtain points added or deducted for the aircraft being judged The criteria of this manual will soon become the universal standard of judging for all EAA fly-ins and knowing this the exhibitor can be assured of having his aircraft judged by the identical criteria used at Oshkosh

Authenticity is stressed in all phases of the manual The Division cannot furnish authentic specifications for each and every aircraft These should be obtained directly from the original manufacturer or if not availshyable from that source the various type clubs usually have available the information needed Our basic purshypose in stressing authenticity is to impress upon the restorer the importance of completing the restoration project accurately This means exhibiting the degree of authenticity that a particular aircraft had when it

Under the gUidance of Morton W Lester Trustee of the EAA Air Museum Foundation and a Director of our AntiqueClassic Division we have begun a Hall of Fame specifica ll y devoted to the era of our Division Within our EAA Air Mu seu m presently located in Hales Corners Wisconsin our AntiqueClassic logo will mark th e display area of the Museum where we have been allocated space to promote and display various items of interest to all visitors We wish to honor inshydividuals of this era by displayi ng ph otographs and factual information about their contributions to aviashytion Many of the early pioneers in aviation have nev er received the recognition they deserved during th e periods of time they were active Many have been forshygotten The activities of the 20s and 30s brought forth the beginning of aviation ventures that promoted the advancement of aviation as we see it today The era of total individual achievement has passed in history for with the modern technology of today no single pershyson could possibly contribute to the whole accomshyplishment It is often said that Charles A Lindbergh Jr was probably The Last Hero His individual efshyfort was responsible for his solo flight from New York to Paris

To initiate our Hall of Fame we are requesting that the membership make individual requests for nomishynees These nominations should be forwarded to Morshyton W Lester whose address appears on the title page of The VINTAGE AIRPLANE Your choice should inshyclude the details of the contribution made to aviashytion by the nominee The criteria of selection does not require that the nominee be or had been a pilot for he or she could have contributed through design engine manufacturing or maintenance been an outshystanding showman of the 20s or 30s or one who deshyveloped aviation within an area previously unexplored by aircraft Your judgement and forethought should guide the selection of your nominee As our Hall of Fame program becomes active we will advise you frequently of the honorees and dates of exhibits and recognition

To further recogniz e our membership and to disshyplay the accomplishments of each we are planning an area in the museum to pla ce photographs of memshyber s restoration accomplishments Please forward an 8 x 10 color photo of you and your aircraft to the AnshytiqueClass ic Division at EAA Headquarters Be sure to include a data ca rd giving your nam e address date of photo a complete description of the aircraft and your AntiqueClassic Division memb ership number These photographs are to be displayed in the museum and will be rotated as necessa ry to permit full parshyticipation among the membership sharing in the exshyhibit All photographs sent to the Division shall reshymain th e property of the AntiqueClassic Division and cannot be returned Pl ease forward your photographs at your earliest convenience and when an ample quanshytity has been received we will imm ediately organize the display

1108 North Main Street land 1911 This was first Rausie V-8 aviation engine now Bellefontaine OH 43311 owned by Cole Palen

Wanamakers downtown New York Department Store was the first to exhibit the worlds first racing airplane a Curtiss biplane having interplane ailerons and powered with a brand new Curtiss V-8 aviation engine of 50 hp Glenn H Curtiss of Hamondsport New York its pilot streaked along at 465 mph winshyning the Gordon Bennett Cup and purse at the First International Airplane Speed Contest August 291909 Rheims France

This was an interval of time when there was mystery and magic pertaining to flying machines and men who flew them Wanamaker s business manager knew what he was doing when he signed an exhibit contract with Curtiss Company official Augustus Herring at a price of $5000 for the privilege of displayi ng the most famous racing airplan e The exhibit area was always so heavily crowded with viewers that it was with much difficulty that a young employee of the then infant society of automotive engineers organization viewed the famous flying machine The V-8 engine representing the very peak in design development as required for powering a flying machine inspired the young employee in such an unusual degree that he resigned his position and determined to enter the business of design and manushyfacture of aviation engines Lawrance E Rausenberger twenty-two stepped down from a big four passenger train at Bellefontaine Ohio where a drafting table was set up in his old room at his mothers home and the design of the first Rausie aviation engine was launched

Internal combustion engine experience at the Stodshydard Dayton Pennsylvania Automobile Company the ) M Quimby Company along with a thorough course in engineering a full background of machine shop practice and a natural know-how were important facshytors in the design of the first Rausenberger Aviation Engine Pioneer designers and builders of aviation enshygines were a dedicated and enthusiastic type who were completely capable of making their own foundry patterns Later theyd follow through with the required machining and assemble a complete engine Followshying through theyd make thorough test stand runs of their gems One can only guess at the degree of emotion that these pioneer deSigners experienced as their engines came off their drawing boards and finally roared into action Designers of early aviation engines incorporated mechanical ideas that were new to the facilities of the day especially the use of aluminum for the upper and lower crank case sections Manushyfacturers of aero engines were really stymied for proper steels and often required special heat treating to meet individual parts applications The automobile engine provided basics for aviation engine manufacture howshyever the distinct requirements of aero engines stimushylated new and fantastic ideas that were previously unshydreamed

Pioneer aero engine designers-builders experi shyenced monumental problems in lubrication overshyheating excessie wear of parts valve and ignition trouble which one by one were overcome through vigorous tests and often heavy outlay of cash

The first aero engine off Rausies drawing board in 1910 was a water cooled 45 hp V-8 consisting of 274 pounds of metals It became the power plant of a Curshytiss Pusher at the already famous Mineolia Long Island L E Rausenberger a t th e controls of a Curtiss Pusher powshy

Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome I was shown through Pashylen s aviat ion co ll ection by David Fox who ca ll ed speshycia l attention to a Curtiss Pu sher in whi ch the number 1 Rausenberger 1909 engine was install ed According to Andy Anderson s article in the March 1978 issue of World War I Aeroplanes this engine was disasse mshybl ed cleaned made operational and started on the seco nd pull in 1975 at the Old Rhinebeck shop

The outstanding success of Rausie s engine number 1 was an ego builder and soon the Bell efontaine shop had a new 75 hp water cooled V-8 aviation engine off the drafting board and into production These engines w ere beautifully machined with the latest ideas in co rshyporated in their design By this ea rly date 1911 all Rausenberger aero engines w ere provided with a cirshyculation of water around the intake throat of carbureshytors preventing dreaded icing up Bell efontaine conshytinu ed to hear the roar of Rausenberger engines on test stands However it was August 25 191 2 that a Baldshywin Red Devil Biplane powered with a 75 hp Rausenshyberger engine gave th e local s their first sight of a flyshying machine in full fli ght Pilot George Schmitt a young Rutl and Vermontier had a flight contract to fly from Bellefontaine Ohio to th e Kenton Ohio fair Immedishyately after take-off Schmitt and the Red Devil w ere about 200 feet in the air direct ly over Bellefontaines big four loco motive servicing terminal Two locomoshytives backing slowly away from the coa l chutes met with the tenders at a switch due to engine crews rubshyber necking at the airplane with a man sitting way out in front Coa l was spilling o nto the right of way with large dents in the tenders It was probably the first ofshyficial railroad accident report made out b laming a flyshying machin e

A Rau senberge r V-8 engin e of 75 hp was installed in a Curtiss Pusher at Bellefontaine 1911 for a wouldshybe pilot nam ed Harper A co nsiderable c rowd had ga th ered to watch th e airplane fly Harper would open the throttle and at the instant of being airborne would close the throttle and sett le back on the runway Thi s disappointed the crowd to such an extent that damage to the plane was barely averted These were the days that m echan ica l flight was looked upon as a great hoax

Rausenberger aerial motors transferred its activishyties to Dayton Ohio where an acce lerated and ambishyti ous production of avia tion engines ran from 1912 to 1916 Linco ln Beachey once the greatest of all ae rial showm en bragged that given an engin e with eno ugh horsepower he would fly a barn door Doubtless enshygi ne builders o f that time were influ enced by th e quip and so m e went back to the drawing board to provide more power to meet the eve r growin g demand of pilots in an era of fantastic p rogress

Rausenberger returned to the quiet of his o ld room and drawing board at his mothers home where he pondered the design of a really new and powerful aviashytion engine The new power plant that came off Rausie s drawing board late in 1914 was a water cooled V-12 cylinder that generated a neat 150 hp offering no more frontal area than a V-8 and incorporating the very latshyest in double ignition and fuel carburetion The engine was manufactured at Dayton Ohio and block tested in the early spring of 1915 As a matter of historical record the Rausie of V-12 was the very fi rst V-12 aviation engin e designed and manufactured in the United States It predated all other American engines designed and was destroyed in a hangar fire

World War I was at its peak in March 1918 when Rausenberger became chief aeronautical engineer for th e steel products engin eering company of Springshyfielltl Ohio A consistent degree of aviation engine development and research engineering resulted from Rausie s new position and the facilities at his disposal

There was an enthusiastic rush by airplane engine manufacturers to get in on the highly overrated estishymate of the demands for American commercial aviashytion at the close of World War I

The Rausi e E-6 an in-line water cooled engine of 175 hp incorporating a special mechanism eliminatshying valve rocker arms and valve springs was introshyduced to comm ercial aviation immediately following World War I This engine earned a number of world records for operational performance and was in proshyduction at the Steel Products Engineering Company Springfield Ohio Rausie continued to design airplane engines over the years and on occasion he drafted special engines for racing cars

Rausenberger was truly a dedicated engineer-deshysigner and manufacturer of aviation engines embracshying the entire range of piston engine development During the twenties and thirties special aviation enshygines were designed and manufactured under conshytract for numerous and enthusiastic promoters of avishyation The engines they promoted were strictly exshyperimental involving unusual design and mechanical principles

The Engineering Division of Air Service at McCook Field Dayton Ohio became engaged in a fantastic proshygram which involved delving into the intricacies reshygarding the airplane and its power plant It was here that Rausenberger and other renowned aeronautical engineering brains under special assignment conshytributed their professional know-how in solving many pioneer problems

To meet the exacting requirements of the bureau of U S Naval Aeronautics Rausenberger designed and

7

manufactured an inverted air cooled V-12 engine inshycorporating a 2-1 reduction gear that blasted out 500 hp at 4000 rpm while weighing in at only 700 pounds This engine design received exhaustive testing at the Philadelphia Naval Center in the late thirties

Three pioneer Rausenberger aviation engines are known to survive the throttle artists of yesterday who roared down those early runways that were fair grounds race tracks or cow pastures Rausies first manufactured water cooled V-8 engine of 45 hp deshysigned in 1909 is now in Cole Palen s Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome collection Col Deeds and Boss Dettershying installed a water cooled V-8 Rausenberger 75 hp engine in their Wright B biplane in 1916 This airshyplane and its power plant are on permanent display at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Museum in Dayton Ohio Mr Rausenberger retains a beautiful Rausie V-8 water cooled 75 hp engine and its radiator at his home which he uses to renew his touch with the great yesshyterdays of aviation

Among other credits a Rausenberger aviation enshygine powered the first airplane to cross the Andean Mountains of South America Easter Sunday 1914

Pilot George Schmitt flew a Rausenberger engined Baldwin Red Devil which carried the first official air mail in Ohio at Fort Recovery Ohio in August 1912 A thirteen ton Pylon patterned after the Wright Kitty Hawk memorial was built honoring Mr Rausenberger by the Bellefontaine Ohio Air Scouts and dedicated August 1 1948 in recognition of this aviation pioneer

Mr Rausenberger was born three miles southeast of De Graff Ohio March 22 1887 on a 206 acre farm which was Rausenberger property for 107 years

Mr and Mrs Rausenberger reside at their North Limestone Street home in Springfield Ohio Truly an aviation pioneer with a lifetime devoted to the developshyment of American aviation engines he is an enthusishyastic recounter of aviations great once upon a time He tells it like it was when the airplane and its power plant were breaking records almost every day

Pioneer aviation engineers were reaching for the stars and they knew it

REBUILDING AN

aeRonca chIef

By Don Jenkins 1273 Rivermont Drive M elbourne FL 32935

(PhOIOS Courl esy or lhe AUlhor)

In 1974 I started to build a Fly Baby designed by Pete Bowers and by the time June 1976 rolled around it was finished to the tune of about $230000 It was a good flying ship but a little on the lonely and drafty side So it was advertised in the EAA SPORT AVIATlON of September 1977 The responses to this advertisement were really astounding But the most interesting one came from a chap by the name of Harold Prior from

9

Fulton New York In his letter I was informed that he had a 1939 Aeronca Chief which was in need of reshycovering but aside from that was in pretty fair shape After a few more letters and telephone calls it was deshycided that we would trade even up on both ships I wanted a two place job and he wanted a Fly Baby On October 22 1977 Harold arrived towing his airplane all the way from New York to Melbourne Florida He pulled up after dark so we left the plane in front of my hangar at Melbourne airport and went back to my place where we swapped lies about how good we were and other kinds of hangar flying After a few hours of this we both needed to go on oxygen so we went up to bed like a couple of kids on Christmas Eve

The next morning we really went to work My Fly Baby had to have the wings removed and his ship had to come off the trailer We finally unloaded the trailer and with the help of several of our EAA buddies got the Fly Baby in place and lashed down securely After getting all our papers log books checked out and titles changed Harold had to get back to New York We said our good byes and he shoved off

Now comes the unbelievable part of the story The wings were stripped of fabric when I got them so every detail could be seen After stripping the fuselage and removing all the instruments and tank here is what was found

Item 7 The welding was broken clear through on the bottom of the rudder Nothing to hold it together but the fabric

Item 2 The two bottom steel formers of the fuseshylage were cracked half way through about eight inches from the rear post of the vertical fin

Item 3 Two of the top main formers were broken about six inches back from the rear window also the wood was rotten and the only thing holding them together was the fact that the termites were holding hands Three of the smaller type strip formers were broken The wood braces at the top of the cabin area were rotten The piece of plywood on which the fuel tank was strapped was rotten and the wood plies were coming apart Also the metal strap that held the tank in place was rusted through and the only thing holdshying the tank in place was the fuel fitting where it went through the firewall

Item 4 The engine refused to start for a preservashytion run so the MA-2 carburetor was pulled and everyshything was stuck together from accumulated varnish and lack of preservation The one bright item was that the engi ne was in very good shape aside from the carshyburetor The carburetor was taken apart and everyshything cleaned inside and all the jets blown out and then reassemlled and installed Then the most amazshy

ing thing happened The engine started on the first pull and ran like a clock After preserving the engine the prop was removed and cleaned up which was folshylowed by two coats of varnish After balancing it was wrapped and put on the shelf for a long deserved rest

Now it was time to go over the history of N-23952 which was in the form of a large loose-leaf book The paper work was in good shape All the required changes had been made and were indexed The log books for both airplane and engine were fairly up to date and there were four of each From what I could make out six copies of this particular model were made and I had the first one The original Lycoming 0-145-A1 enshygine was a 50 horsepower job with single magneto igshynition This same engine stayed on the ship until Harshyold Prior changed engines to an 0-145-B2 which is a twin magneto job and is 65 horsepower The original engine had been overhauled seven times according to the records I obtained this engine with the ship and checked it out completely It is in excellent shape and the single magneto for it had just been overhauled Its new ignition leads had the yellow acceptance tag on it to the tune of $10500 So now I am the owner of an extra small engine which will work great on another experimental airplane

The gloomy aspect of the fuselage loomed as I realized the work which had to be done There was only one way to do it and that was to get with it The welding was the first item to be done and that was acshycomplished by heli-arc and the use of 4130 steel tubshying along with 090 flat stock We are fortunate in that Robey Green is a member of EAA Chapter 264 of Melshybourne Florida and is certified to make any or all inshyspections on ou r ai rcraft Robey was on hand when the welding was done on all areas that needed it He made the remark that it was now better than it had ever been

This assurance from brother Green was real good news He told me to go ahead and get everything finshyished ready to cover and he would sign it off

Before getting the wood replacement we changed every bolt in the airplane All new AN bolts were inshystalled in the wings the landing gear in all the conshytrol pulleys ailerons rudder and all the controls New turnbuckles were also used The control cables themshyselves were changed using stainless steel one eighth cable After all the metal work that had to be done was accomplished the wings were installed without any cover to check out the rigging and all cable adjustshyments New one-half inch AN bolts were used for wing attach bolts and wing struts Incidentally these wing struts are aluminum and are the original issue They were in great shape with no evidence of any corrosion

At this time a new support was made for the fuel tank from plywood using the old one for a pattern A new stainless steel tank strap was also cut and the tank was installed falling right into place with no probshylems A new fuel cut-off arm was made as the old one was pretty sloppy Before I forget to mention it the fuel tank support was varnished with three coats beshyfore it went in Prior to installation the tank was cleaned and then blown dry It was in good shape A new fuel line was put in place and checked with fuel and what do you know No leaks

Now it was cross your fingers time as the wood situation was next on the agenda All the rotten wood was replaced and that took about twenty-two minutes plus ten days The two top formers of the fuseshylage were of one-quarter round stock and they were replaced Two of the broken small formers were spliced and the other one replaced The fuselage was now complete and in good shape so it was rewarded with two new coats of varnish which enhanced its looks A peice of 032 aluminum was secured across the top of the cabin to support the new antenna Fresh wiring was installed in the wings and fuselage for all three running lights New glass was installed in all the winshydows The seats were taken out and reupholstered in a soft gray blue finish the same color as the headshyliner A new indooroutdoor floormat was installed and all in all the little gal looked like a dreamboat except she still looked pretty bare with no covering So everything comes off and the covering session beshygan

My one idea was to completely finish the fuselage so I could get it out of the way and start on the wings I had ordered a set of covers for the whole ship in Ceconite and they fit just about perfect There is one thing to watch out for though That is When your fuselage cover is installed loose and glued down with Pliobond and all your sewing is finished be sure when you start your heat or hot iron that it is done evenly so the seams will fall in place along the longerons and formers If too much tightening is applied in one place the seams will not line up With the fuselage cover finally installed to our satisfaction the little darling was ready for doping

We first applied two coats of nitrate dope to the entire fuselage This was followed by four coats of butyrate mixed with aluminum powder The final four coats were of juneau white dope With the last one a quart of retarder was mixed in with th e dope and thinner Next the windshield was installed and all the engine cowling Now it was time for all the tail feathers to go on using all new AN bolts during the assembly The white riding light on top of the vertical fin was inshy

The co lor combination decided upo n was juneau white and bahama blue A des ign was ginned up for co lor contrast and th e final res ult turned o ut to everyshyone s sa ti sfaction Th e fuse lage was now parked ove r in the corn er while the wings were set up o n work horses and inspected to see what was going to have to be done to them Bo th of them fell into th e sa me catego ry whi ch co uld be described as lo usy Th e wood at th e trailing edge w as rotted away on both wings How~ve r the ail eron s w ere in very good con shydition so th ey were cleaned up revarni sh ed th en doped and stored out of th e way

Th e wings were rebuilt with new trailin g edges sp li ced in acco rdin g to th e manu al New AN bo lts were installed in all areas and pi eces we re clean ed

and then chromated The metal was in very good shape with no ru st and that was rea lly something in as mu ch as thi s old bucket was now thirty-nine yea rs o ld Anyshyhow th e wings were finally finished and bought off again by Robey Green and we start ed to cover the rib ti e I neve r ti ed so many ribs in my life as o n thi s o ld girl but it was finally finished Down here in Florida we have pretty decent weather so we did no t have any trouble with the doping We finally go t th ose wings finished and in stall ed No ne of the measurem ents had changed and th ey practically fell into place when th e wing bolts w ere in stall ed Th e struts w ere the sa me thing ri ght into place Pins w ere install ed all th e ri gshygi ng and cab les w ere se t in place checked and safeshytied The ail ero ns were now put o n and again no probshylems All th e turnbu ckles were co nnected th e co nshytro ls checked ou t and worked perfect So turnbu ckl es were now safeti ed wing ligh t wiring hooked up and

BAlANCING OF

RADIAL ENGINES

PART I

By W B Richards 2490 C reer Road

Palo Alto CA 94303

Reprinted from Vintage Flyer

Several of our members have reported unacceptshyably rough running radial engines after overhauls by well respected engine overhaul firms Concerned lest the same happen to my Kinners as well as the Warner engines I am overhauling I began a search for the formula and method for balancing of radial engines

The Kinner publication Service Tools for Band R Series Kinner Engines page 11 gives a picture and description of Tool No 7371 Fixture Assembly shyCrankshaft Balancing plus the following description of its use

This fixture is used for balanc ing or rebalancing the cra nkshaft The fixture consists o f two balance ways or arbo rs upon which the crankshaft is res ted with the front main journal on one arbor and the rea r main journal on th e o ther Th e crankshaft is th en positioned between the two arbors Th e arbors must be level and the height adjusted so that the axis of th e crankshaft is level On shafts having different size journ als lower th e arbor for the front journal to make up for th e difference in diameters The fixture is equipped with a balance bucket to which is attached a ball bearing pulley wheel with a steel band which ca n be placed over the crankth row (i e crank pin or master rod journal) Balanc ing is accomplished as folshylows Add weight to the bucket so that th e total weight to be hung from the crank throw is equal to the rotating weight plus 508 of the rec iproca ting weight

(I) W c = W rot + 508 W recip

The rotating weights are the end reaction of the large end o f th e master rod master rod bearing weight of th e four knuckle pins (wrist pins) and the end reactions of the sma ll enel (kn uckle pin end ) o f th e link rods Th e reciproshyca ting weights are the end reaction o f th e small end of th e master rod th e weight of th e pistons piston pins piston pin buttons piston rings and the end react ion of the larg e end (piston pin end) of th e link rods To obtain end reacshytions th e rod is supported by knife edges at the center of the bushings with one end on a sca le and the other on a rigid support The rods must be level and all bushings in place when the reactions are taken With the balance weight thus determined the steel band is placed over th e crankthrow and the crankshaft balanced in four positions i e wi th the crankthrow vertica l po inting up and down and horizontal pointing to either side Material is removed from o r added to the crankshaft counterweights to obtain proper balance

I should add that the calculated weight (Wc) to

be hung from the crankthrow should include the weight of the bucket pulley steel band as well as the weight placed in the bucket

For my experiments a simple balance stand was constructed not unlike a prop balance stand and a laboratory balance beam scale obtained that could weight in excess of 2600 grams in 1110 gram increments For larger weights scales such as used in paint stores provide sufficient accuracy I now had the formula for balancing the Kinner but would the same formula hold for a seven-cylinder engine or a nine or three or even a different five-cylinder engine

To tackle the Warner problem two approaches were taken First a search for all available literature on balshyanCing and second the actual weighing of all the roshytating and reciprocating parts of several smooth runshyning Warner 165 Super Scarab engines Four Warner 165 engines were carefully weighed with remarkable res ults For example nearly 50 pistons (including spars) were weighed and found to vary no more than 05 from the lightest to heaviest regardless of whether standard + 010 or + 020 diameter Weights of other parts were equally close showing that great care had been taken during original manufacture to keep part weights equal The biggest variation appeared between supposedly similar piston ring sets In contrast a new set of Kinner pistons had been found to vary as much as 100 grams from lightest to heaviest before they were reworked to balance within 12 gram of each other Results of these weighing experiments revealed that the apparent balance formula for Warner 165 engines should be

(2) W c = W rot + 510 W recip

With help from friend s several excellent literature sources were turned up including Den Hartog s Mechanical Vibrations third ed ition pages 230shy232 Taylors The Inte rnal-Combu st ion Engine in Theory and Practice Vol II pages 274-303 and pages 688-689 (bibliography) Lichtys Internal Combustion Engines pages 498-504 The most useful paper howshyever was Coppens Improved Formula for Computshying Counterweights of Single-Rowand Double-Row Radial Engines published in SAE journal Vol 34 No3 March 1934 All of these sources give the same basic formula for computing the counterweight (W )cwof a radial engi ne as

Rc (3) W cw = R x W c

cw

(4) Wc = + 112 WrecipW rot

where Wcw actual weight of counterweight

Wc balance weight or bob weight hung from crankthrow

Rcw distance from centerline of crankshyshaft to eg to counterweight

Rc distance from centerline of crankshyshaft to centerline of crankthrow (or 112 the piston stroke)

Coppens paper points out that the basic formula (4) is incomplete since the link rods are attached to the master rod at holes located a distance r from the censhyterline of the crankthrow that are not concentric with the crankthrow This construction introduces an error in the usual determination of reciprocating and rotatshying weights of about 03

Coppens adjusted formula is

W1r (5) W c = + 12Wrecip + ~W rot

where weight of the rotating (knuckle pin)W 1 end of a link rod

r distance from centerline to crankshythrow to centerline of knuckle pin hole

L length of master rod from centerline of crankthrow to centerline of piston pin hole

12

Den Hartog points out that if the weight of the reshyciprocating end of the master rod is different from the reciprocating end weight of a link rod it is not posshysible to completely balance the engine for primary force With the counterweight calculated by formula (5) above Den Hartog states that there remains pri shymary unbalance forces in the two main directions (across and along the axis of the master cylinder) of

12R cW2 (MrecipMR - MrecipLR)

where w circular frequency = 21Tf (f = revssec)

M mass of reciprocating end of recipMR

the master rod

mass of reciprocating end ofMrecipLR a link rod

It appears that Kinner and Warner adjusted the basic balance formula (5) to compensate for these residual middotprimary unbalance forces resulting in Kinner taking 508 of the total reciprocating weight and Warshyner using 510 Other engine designs may use some other value but in the absence of factory data a value of 508 to 509 would probably work best

Twin row radial engines require two countershyweights one for each row If d is the distance beshytween the planes of both counterweights the value of each counterweight should be

d + ~W (6) Wc = -d (W 2 + W___ 1r

rot 2L

Finally some important factors to remember when overhauling an engine If any of the original factory installed parts such as pistons rings wrist pins pisshyton pins are replaced be sure that new part weighs w ithin 5 of the part being replaced Kinner specishyfies replacement pistons should weigh within 14 oz (7 grams) of the weight of the piston being replaced Original pistons however were weighed to within 45 grams of each other which is less than 05 of the piston s nominal weight

Once the desired balance weight We has been

calculated however any shop such as Babbitt Bearshying Co of San Jose or Nicksons Machine Shop of Santa Maria having an appropriate balance machine should be able to handle the balancing of the crankshyshaft (Lee Fray Photo)

THE SINGLE-BOOM P-38 STORY

By Joel Whitehurst Jr and

Anthony R Whitehurst

Having been avid Warbird buffs for the last twentyshyfive years or so my brother Tony and I spotted the ad for our pride and joy in the want-ads of the San Franshycisco paper in early june of 1978 We hooked a cycle trailer to the flatbed gutted the piggybank and emshybarked on a hundred mile expedition an expedishytion which yielded one of the rarest pre-war designed ~Warbirds now flying the infamous XPQ-13 also known as the single-boom P-38 SIN 440415-C

As the photos show the old bird was in pretty sad shape when we first laid eyes on her Th~ wings and tail feathers instruments cowling and a plethora of odd-shaped pieces were in a garage-shaped pile that made Fibber McGees famous closet seem like a model of organization and the fuselage was being used as a decorative centerpiece for a small natural weed garden

As we drove away truck and trailer loaded I hapshypened to look back and I can still remember seeing a hint of a smile playing over the lips of her former owner We drew some even more interesting glances as we drove along the freeway through San jose fuseshylage trailing behind on that tiny motorcycle trailer We were worried that a patrolman would ticket us but after seeing the bewildered looks we received from various law officers we passed we realized that for once we were apparently beyond the scope of the law

Upon arrival at our hangar in Los Banos and beshyfore we could even unload our friend and resident A amp E Paul Douthitt was up on the flatbead punchshying holes in the wing fabric And within a week everyshybody was in on the act Our younger brother Fred and I were stripping paint (at least three layers of enamel)

Jo el Jr on patrol

our dad who had rebuilt SIN 46 in 1953 was working on the control system and Tony was busy with the carburetor baffles and engine Of course Paul was always there to answer questions and give directions and darn there were a lot of both Incidentally we would recommend him highly to anyone in the area having intentions to rebuild or repair He is both knowledgeable and capable and his rates are excelshylent

Parts were a problem for Tony particularly for the airframe Suppliers were often distant and stocks were usually depleted We were lucky however We loshycated and bought a wrecked airframe which had crashed several years ago in the nearby foothills It provided our instrument panel seat frame battery box and uncounted small parts that would have been difficult to obtain elsewhere

Anyway we took that airplane apart until nothing else would come off of her cleaned and stripped everyshything rebuilt one badly corroded aileron made a comshyplete cowling out of three old ones replaced every little part that looked even questionable then aloshydyned and chromated everything inside and out Finally the day came and Dad and Tony set about the task of painting her

The paint scheme as shown in the photographs is the authentic 1944 version It was chosen after exhaustive research in the national archives to match the version flown by the famous World War II barshyrage balloon ace Fidelio Four Eyes Quackenbush aka Mad Dog

Getting the wings and tail on and hooking up the controls were time-consuming but simple The rigshyging presented a problem which should be of interest to others with similar planes Tony and Paul strugshygled for three days to achieve 50 degrees of up-travel in the ailerons as specified in the approved manual information but couldnt squeeze out more than 42 degrees Only after Tony called desperately to Univair in Colorado and Paul searched his FAA spec sheets did we find that the correct reading should be 40 deshygrees up deflection according to the FAA

Despite its headaches and meticulous measureshyments we are convinced that precise rigging is proshybably the best single service you can perform on your bird We credit rigging with improved performance and stability beyond our expectations

The unsung heroines of this story are our wives Michele and jan who sat at home every night yvith the babies while we greased our Levis and skinned our knuckles I kept telling Michele that wed have the plane flying in a couple of weeks After about four months I dont think she believed me any more and as the six-month mark approached I think she started to get a little suspicious that I had a mistress stashed somewhere In all seriousness I dont think it is stated either often enough or loud enough that no married pilot is better to have a wife who understands the joys and satisfaction that the love of aviation can bring In this respect we couldnt be more fortunate

The moment arrived finally and Dad valia n tly climbed into the cockpit on an almost-foggy day in early january After low- and high-speed taxi tests he took off made a low pass over the runway and then played tag with some low scud To us his seemshyingly lengthy flight indicated that he was enjoying himself immensely perhaps recalling the earlier reshybuild project A few minutes later he touched down with a tiny squeak and a huge smile All systems havshying checked out N87267 was soon escorting family and friends around the pattern Frank Silveira a local CFI also had helped with the project He had me checked out in a single flight and a few flights later Tony was cleared

We have been flying 267 nearly every day in spite of winter weather Crosswind landings are easy and safe Flare it in a crab and it straightens itself out when the main gear touches For such a small plane it is amazingly stable in gusts It wont stall Roll response is quick and positive It uses less than 5 gallons of gas per hour and economy cruise is at about 107 mph Climb out is nearly 1000 fpm at 80 mph after a short take-off roll At 75 horsepower needless to say were more than pleased

All in all we consider the project to have been very rewarding and few words can describe the satisshyfaction we got from seeing the XPQ-13 lift off the first time after such a long hibernation One of the nicest aspects of the project however is the fact that durshying the processes we picked up enough parts and asshysemblies to rebuild at least one more representative of this rare species And although were counting the days until the air shows start out west we are now looking forward to the time when we can attend them in formation Keep em flying

I FORWARD

The purpose of this manual is to lay the groundwork for a viable set of restoration maintenance and conshystruction standards against which vintage aircraft can be judged The philosophy of these standards must meet two basic criteria One the system must be simple Two the system must allow consistent and fair competition between common and exotic types

Throughout these standards will be found the one concept that reflects the opinion of the majority of those individuals contacted during the development of these guidelines That concept is authenticity The standards are constructed to encourage the individual to complete and maintain a factory fresh aircraft If the individuals desire is to deviate from this goal for personal whim or other reasons the cost of not conforming to pure authenshyticity is known in advance A portion of the guidelines pertain to the documentation of authenticity as it relates to the aircraft The exhibitor is encouraged to prove the authenticity with pictures letters factory specifications or any other means which will alleviate the need for judges opinion in determining authenticity

Extra copies of the OFFICIAL AIRCRAFT JUDGING AND SCORING FORM are located in the back of this manual They should be removed individually as needed for the purpose of having them copied by a quick copy printer thus insuring an adequate supply for the use of the judges Permission is hereby given for unlimited reshyproduction of this scoring form

An aircraft constructed by the original manufacturer or his licensee on or after January 1 1946 up to and inshycluding December 31 1955

EXCEPTIONS TO THE ABOVE

Pre-World War II aircraft models which had only a small post-war production run shall be defined as middot Anshytique Aircraft Examples Beechcraft Staggerwing Fairshychild 24 and Monocoupe Civilian aircraft manufactured in the last four months of 1945 which were actually 1946 models shall be defined as Classic Aircraft Examples Aeronca Taylorcraft and Piper

CONTINUOUSLY MAINTAINED AIRCRAFT

An aircraft with proof of construction by the original manufacturer or his licensee which has received periodshyic maintenance repair recover andor replacement of parts but which has never been completely disassembled and rebuilt or remanufactured to new or better-than-new condition

RESTORED AIRCRAFT

An aircraft with proof of construction by the original manufacturer or his licensee that has been disassembled into its component parts which were then either replaced refurbished or remanufactured to new or better-thanshynew condition

III QUALIFICATIONS OF JUDGES A judge should be a current member in good standing

of any aviation organization that promotes the restorashytion and flying of Antique and Classic aircraft He should have a thorough knowledge of the aircraft type and vinshytage being judged this knowledge having been gained from actual experience flying andor maintaining such vintage aircraft Qualification may also be acquired by historical research or actual restoration experience

18

IV GUIDELINES FOR JUDGES

Judges should be guided by the following general polshyicy The prize winning aircraft is either IN or has been RESTORED TO factory fresh condition In the case of restored aircraft the quality and authenticity of the completed restoration is the main issue The best restorshyation is the one which most closely approaches factory fresh condition Authenticity is to be emphasized Any alterations for whatever purpose with the exception of safety items should be discouraged These are covered in the standard deductions on the judging sheet Duplishycation of parts should be as close to the original as possishyble Penalties should be given for lack of restraint in over restoration J udging for cleanliness should take into conshysideration the extent to which the aircraft is used An authentic restoration should not be penalized when it bears only the oil and grease normally accumulated in operation of the aircraft This will not excuse poor houseshykeeping as it only takes a few minutes after arrival at a meet to clean the oil spatter from most of the aircraft surshyface Aircraft must be flown to or during the meet

The proof of authenticity should be a book which docshyuments the history of the aircraft The purpose of this presentation book is to authenticate the restoration or preservation of the aircraft

Replicas should be judged as a separate category If there are sufficiently large numbers of replicas entered in competition they can be subcategorized into all the classhysifications and subclassifications presently used in judgshying antiques and classics

VII FORM EXPLANATION AND USE

Judges should understand that the maximum attainshyable would be a perfect score grand champion without qualification It could never be surpassed and it could only be tied by another perfect score grand champion Consistency and fairness should be the main criterion in judging

ITEM 1 GENERAL APPEARANCE

This is the only category which covers the aircraft in its entirety Workmanship authenticity cleanliness and maintenance of the aircraft should be the criteria Judges should consider the aircraft and its airworthiness as a whole and not as individual pieces A non-authentic color scheme modern finish fabric other than original nonshyauthentic striping or decorations should constitute the use of negative points Markings such as aircraft names or airmail company markings done in good taste should not be penalized Aircraft showing use of metal that has replaced the original use of fabric or plywood skinning should be penalized substantially Use of non-original type nuts bolts cable splices safety wire etc should also be penalized

EX-MILITARY

Any Antique or Classic aircraft which at one time was owned andor operated by any recognized military orshyganization should be partially judged on the basis of its former military appearance unless a comparable civilian model of that aircraft was offered for sale by the original manufacturer or his licensee

ITEM 2 COCKPIT

Anything visible within the cockpit and passenger compartments comprises the items under inspection in this category Authenticity should be stressed in the finish upholstery (or lack of) instruments controls and other components The operational condition of all components the workmanship and the attention to detail are considshyered important Installation of modern electronics should not be penalized providing the installation does not deshytract from the authenticity of the instrument panel or other components Deductions should be made for alterashytions made to the throttle stick or control wheel Nonshyauthentic upholstery material or patterns should result in deductions Chroming of parts not originally chromed should earn minus points

19

ITEM 3 ENGINE

Consideration should be given to the correct engine as well as to its mounting cowling accessories and proshypeller Again authenticity should be stressed There should be nothing on or in the engine compartment that was not there originally Everytping should be installed in a first class manner according to the way it was when it left the factory Plus points should be given for authenshyticity Any non-original engine component accessory engine mount propeller or spinner as well as any nonshyauthentic chroming should receive minus points Lateror increased HP models of the original engines should reshyceive little or no penalty

ITEM 4 LANDING GEAR

This category should include brakes wheels tires landing gear fairings and wheel pants or covers if any Smooth tires should be given plus points if the aircraft was originally equipped with them

If streamlining was accomplished by balsa wood and wrapping the quality of workmanship and authenticity of this should be considered If the wheels are retractshyable the wheel wells should be part of the inspection Credit should be given for flying an authentic tail skid Credit should be given for tail wheel s that are authentic Points should be deducted for non-authentic tires or tires of improper size Non-authentic material used for fairings or wheel pants should be cause for penalty points

ITEM 5 FUSELAGE

When judging the fuselage the first consideration should be its general all-over configuration Has the reshystorer been authentic in duplicating the shape via stringshyers and woodwork where applicable The entire fuseshylage including all struts mechanism gear mountings and covering should be examined for workmanship and authenticity If possible the judges should view the fuseshylage interior for quality of inside restoration The point should be stressed that it is the exhibitors prerogative to refuse removable of any inspection covers however it is urged that the exhibitor be cooperative since the inside of the fuselage is a major portion of the restoration of an aircraft The quality of workmanship of formers woodshywork general finish inside tubes pulleys for the cables the condition of the cables and the interior finish on the tubes are all points that should be considered The exhibshyitor should assist the inspection by the judges Points should be deducted for fairings cowlings or windshields that are non-authentic

ITEM 6 WINGS AND TAI L SURFACES

The judges should examine the exterior covering and finis h reinforcing tapes struts braces and wires ailerons fla ps navigation lights fairings to center sections the center section gas tank and gas tank cap (if mounted in the center section) wing-wa lk and wing-to-fuselage fairshyings The tail surfaces including the horizontal stabilizer elevator fin rudder bracing wires and attach fittings should all be considered If the exhibitor as suggested in the fuselage section will allow a look inside the wings for condition of the structure it should be considered Again he has the right to refuse such entry if it means removing a cover plate and he does not wish to do this however an uncooperative exhibitor should be prepared to lose a couple of points The inside condition of wings will show the quality of the restoration A judge should not be looking for brand new wings as much as for workshymanship in the restoration The important aspect should be to observe that the wings are in a generally new conshydition showing the wood to be clean and freshly varnished excellent craftsmanship is evident in the finishing of the fittings and warped ribs have been replaced There are many wings flying that have not been restored prior to recovering or that have never been recovered Nonshyauthentic wires struts pitot landing lights or other related items should receive negative points

ITEM 7 PRESENTATION BOOK

Proof of authenticity contained within the presentashytion book should be judged on details of the contents relshyative to the authenticity of either a continously maintain or restored aircraft and not on the beauty or artistic qualshyity of the book itself

ITEM 8 DIFFICUL TV FACTOR

Determination of the difficulty involved in the reconshystruction of a restored aircraft or in the preservation of a continuously maintained aircraft should be taken into consideration if it is significant

LETTERS Dear David

This morning I received a photo copy of a letter dated December 14 1978 wh ich you sent to my pen pal Don Giffin Box 179 Wyoming Ontario Canada inviting him to keep a writshyten and photographic record of the replica Chilton DWIA that he is currently building with a view to its eventual publication in The VINshyTAGE AIRPLANE

I feel sure that Don will be extremely pleased to do just that and I hope that you will file my following remarks to add what is suitable to h is story if he writes it

I am 70 years of age one of the three workshymen who built the original Chilton DWIA in very primitive conditions for the Hon A Dalshyrymple and Mr A R Ward at Hungerford in 1939 and by a whole string of coincidences Don was able to make contact with me and I was able to supply him with pictures and news clipshypings over 40 years old and many memories of how the Chiltons were made

The July 1976 issue of the English magazine AEROPLANE MONTHLY carried a quite good story of the history of the Chiltons up to date The actual story was written by Arthur OrdershyHume who rewrote much of the material supshyplied by myself

In July last year the Mr Roy Nerou menshytioned in the article exchanged his Comper Swift for the last Chilton made S-AFSV and removed part of the skinning to measure inshyternal dimensions and prepare proper drawshyings for futu re use

Obtaining data and working drawings has been very difficult due to the almost complete lack of interest by the surviving partner Mr Ward Dalrimple was killed in a German Fiesshyler Storch on Christmas Day 1945 and after 5 years in the ATA (ferry service) Ward had no interest in ultralight planes and I left the conshycern for good

I never flew a Chilton myself a pity because all who did spoke very highly of it in fact Mr Ronald Porteous who owned a Chilton and test flew many ultralight planes at the time 1936shy1939 rated it the best ever built and equal to today s types

The reason that I never flew the Chilton is that I used to be a pioneer glider and sailplane pilot and due to mishaps trying out new ideas in 1930-1938 with resu Itant damage to myself by the time 1939 arrived my flying days were over and it was wiser to stay on the ground

I was a founder member of the Bradford Glidshying Club in 1930 which became the Yorkshire Gliding Club in 1934 and was Ground Engishyneer for both

In 1930 incredibly little was known in Engshyland about either building or flying sailplanes and I was often the guinea pig for both test

flying new types and trying new launching sysshytems like the win ch and hand launching in a very strong wind

During 1933-1934 I teamed up with the late Rex Stedman to make the first two seat sailshyplane that actually soared in this part of the world and was the first Yorkshire member to rise in a thermal to cloud base

By the end of 1938 I had spent nearly all my money and just had to earn my living on someshything more remunerating

The journey to Chilton was a blind date by English standards a long way off and I had never seen the works

Whether Chilton Aircraft was a real business or two rich men s hobby will never be known Both partners were extremely well connected socially and moved in the highest aristocratic circles in fact Wards parents were personal friends of the late King George V and Queen Mary

They had a tiny shed about 25 feet by 15 feet hidden in the copse behind the stately home of Chilton Lodge and machines were taken by road 9 miles to the Earl of Cardigan s field near Marborough for flying

Machinery was conspicuous by its absence and they only employed three men and a boy

Apart from the engines bolts nuts turnshybuckles tyres etc almost the entire little planes were made on site by hand

On the outbreak of World War II the military requisitioned a large part of the mansion and turned the surrounding park into an Army Camp which grew in size right through the War at the same time as the works

Almost immediately wood work stopped and production was entirely small machined metal parts made by sub-contract for the larger airshycraft concerns on some very antiquated metal working machines later supplemented by modern US lease lend machinery

The original shed was enlarged 15 times by 1945 and the last extension was a free standshying chicken house which just held two benches and a sports sailplane fuselage which was in fact the first Olympia Merze made outside Germany

When the US entered the War the Army Camp became the official US parachute school and was greatly extended together with all the equipment needed for the mainteshynance and re-packing of parachutes

Because the soldiers were so close we got to know them quite well and quite a lot of unshyofficial lease lend took place

In exchange for repairing ten hats use of our circular saw etc their officers would give us large quantities of the timber which came f rom Waco glider packing cases Those packshying cases were some of the largest ever made and when dismantled made excellent buildshying material and that was how the factory was continually being extended until 0 Day

Amazingly although an Army Camp and quite a legitimate wartime target the camp and works

were NEVER bombed but we often heard Jerry passing over on his way to the Midlands

I will have to cut this short or this letter will become a book Almost immediately after the crash of the Storch I left the firm of Chilton Aircraft which became Chilton Electric makshying shaver sockets and switchgear and for the next 28 years I worked as a high quality joiner until I retired

However I never lost my interest in flying and during the last six years have acquired a number of pen and tape pals about the world who are interested in the building and flying of the 1930-1939 replicas

A few months ago Don s pal Ron Bays sent me an interesting tape about his trip in his 30 year old Bellanca from Nova Scotia to the Oshkosh Fly-In and the return trip

The address of Mr Roy Nerou the prime mover in the Chilton replica project is 264 Browns Lane Allesley Coventry If you would like to read more about the Chilton I would be pleased to send either script or tape sorry I do not type

Sincerely Mr Harold Holdsworth 27 Woodroyd Terrace Bradford 5 BD5 8P Q West Yorks England

Dear David I have asked the Experimental Aircraft Asshy

sociation to post this letter to your company You may be interested to know that a full

size flying Replica of the famous Fokker aeroshyplane Southern Cross as used by the late Sir Charles Kingsford Smith has been planned for historical commemorative operations in Australia

It is our intention to purchase four engines (one spare) that have been completely overshyhauled in the USA Mr Bill Whitney our aeroshynauti cal engi neer has advised that 3 X 200 BHP engines will be required to power the Replica

It is possible that 280 BHP engines would be considered

Would you kindly advise then the availshyability and estimated cost in the USA of

4 X Radial Engines with all accessories of 300 BHP

4 X Two bladed feathering propellers with diameters a little over 8 feet Activity Factor not too important

We would be most grateful if you could adshyvise an estimate of the total weight including prop and accessories in the reply

With thanks in anticipation Sincerely John S Pope Project Director 42 Strathalbyn Road Aldgate South Australia 5154

Waco Model UBF NC13075 cln 3692 1933

Dear David Being one of a perpetual nostalgia kick the

mention of Milwaukee Oregon in Jack Mitshychell s excellent article on Waco UBF NC13075 stirred some memories of myoid home town Among those memories are a few of this very same Waco I submit two views captured during the 1946-47 period with my Brownie 620 Special

The photo of the UBF on wheels was snapped shortly after it arrived in Milwaukee The exact location was a pretty sad airstrip at Ardenwald a residential area of East Milshywaukee Soon to be covered with homes this field enjoyed a very short life as an airport

The second view shows the U BF some months later - refinished remounted on floats and put to work by Marine Air Service At this time Marine Air Service was located precisely at Milwaukee on the Wallamette River The river is wide at this location Johnson Creek flowing in to help form what was then the seashyplane basin for the air service

Though I have been to many flying events and airports throughout the Northwest during the past 30 years I never had the good fortune to see the UBF again

Sincerely Ralph Nortell N 1747 Smith Street Spokane WA 99207

Dear David Please turn to page 14 of The VINTAGE AIRshy

PLANE January 1979 Will you please give me the name of the pilot standing along side of the Eastern Air Transport Inc

Id be almost willing to bet my next Social Security check that he is Gene Brown who was at that time a reserve officer of the then Army Air Corps He came to Columbus in the late 20s with Mable Cody s Flying He flew a WACO 9 taking up passengers He got Mr A C Chancellor and perhaps Mr J Ralston Gargill and Mayor Dimon and two or three other important businessmen interested in promoting aviation in Columbus

I dont know all of the details but he left Mable Cody s Flying Circus They formed a partnership and bought a new WACO 9 Gene started hopping passengers and giving flight instructions He was very successful in both One of his students that I remember quite well was George Shealey He bought an old Jenny painted orange and aluminum for $50000 in Americus Gene taught him to fly Later on he got a job flying for Eastern This was after Gene had joined Eastern Gene flew the first air mail (night) from Atlanta to Richmond Virshyginia flying a Pitcairn Holding a box of peaches that he flew to New York City to give to Mayor Jimmy Walker But I failed as usual to put the date on it

I got ahead of myself Gene was an excelshylent pilot and liked to flat hat around every so often I used to fly with him every chance I had I started working for him selling plane ride tickets Then started helping him on the plane I graduated to propping the engine making sure his passengers were strapped in properly holding one lower wing for sharp turns His aircraft didn t have brakes At that time I didn t know of any that did I learned to warm up the engine and to taxi it for him Then he got the job flying the air mail

He was the first pilot to fly at night over Columbus without the benefit of landing lights on his aircraft or on the field I forget how many cars were parked side by side at an angle when he was ready to land He would gun his engine as a signal to turn on the lights

My first great thrill in flying was my first hop May 5 1926 in one of the old sweep back wi ng Standard aircraft of Gates Flying Circus The second great thrill was my first night flight with Gene

I have many fond memories of working for Gene One person told me that had Gene not gotten that air mai l job that Gene was going to teach me to fly I don t know if that was so but if he had Im sure that I would have made a darn good pi lot or not one at all For he was a cracker Jack of a pilot

Gene was a young good looking lean raw boned fellow and was very popular with the young belles of that time Flying at night didn t dampen his popularity with them either

Last October I heard that George Shealy zontally to the edge of the picture Have you Dear David died the preceeding December and that Gene any idea of the model Regarding Mr Mike Kezick s letter - page was retired from Eastern and was living someshy I am a member of the CAP Sqd 9098 in Columshy 26 February 1979 The VINTAGE AIRPLANE where in Florida bus Through the courtesy of the Air Force Mr Douglas Corrigan did not do any weldshy

I have a picture of Gene in a post WW-I SPAD at Ft Benning Georgia four of us flew up to ing on Charles Lindberghs NYP shy he learned I would like to know the model It has wider Wright Patterson Air Force Base weekend beshy welding later - Mr Corrigan was a pilot beshywing struts than the SPADS VII amp VIII Has a fore last That was a trip well worth it I just fore the Spirit of St Louis was built Having thick mid top wing fuel tank a Lewis machine wish that we had more than one full day there soloed in March of 1926 gun mounted on the lower right wing just on If you have never been I highly recommend Also the Key Bros broke the Endurance the outside of the lower front wing strut a the trip There is no admission charge It is Record with a J6 5 Robin in 1935 This being long laced up section aft of the cockpit a fire open from 09 00 to 1700 Mondays through 5 years after Jackson and O Brine s second extinguisher hanging on the outside just beshy Fridays or Saturdays and 1000 to 1800 on endurance flight low the right side of the cockpit and what looks like an oil cooler just forward of the extinshyguisher What I can see of the vertical fin it comes up at 8 or 10 and then goes back hori-
